GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THYROIDECTOMY-INDUCED WEIGHT LOSS AND IMPAIRED GLUCOSE LEVELS: ROLE OF L-THYROXINE.

Thyroxine, a key regulator of metabolic pathways, plays a pivotal role in glucose metabolism and the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. In clinical practice, L-thyroxine replacement therapy is commonly prescribed for patients with hypothyroidism. However, the specific effects of L-thyroxine and thyroidectomy (TX) on glucose levels remain an area of interest and investigation.

PRODUCTIVITY AND SELENIUM ENRICHMENT OF STEVIA IN HYDROPONIC AND SOIL CULTIVATION SYSTEMS IN THE ARARAT VALLEY.

Hydroponics offers a viable solution for obtaining plant products that are rich in micronutrients and ultramicronutrients, such as selenium. Selenium plays a crucial role in strengthening the body's immune defense and acts as a potent antioxidant. Low levels of selenium have been associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

EFFECTS OF DIMETHYL SULFOXIDE ON HIPPOCAMPAL ACTIVITY IN A ROTENONE-INDUCED RAT MODEL OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease worldwide. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in a rat model of Parkinson's disease caused by rotenone. Due to its capacity to increase the penetration of potential water-insoluble drugs into the central nervous system, DMSO has been widely used in preclinical and clinical studies.

Membrane-stabilizing and protective effects of curcumin in a rotenone-induced rat model of Parkinson disease.

Parkinson disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by both motor and non-motor features. Numerous risk factors (oxidative stress, free radical formation, and several environmental toxins) have been associated with PD. The experimental studies were carried out under in vivo conditions.
